w04 04/01 5 - Righteous Requirements

The kingdom of God is the highest government anyone can serve. To be
acceptable all kingdom service must find its motive in love for Jehovah.
All desiring to be pleasing to God must always keep this foremost in mind.
A call to action is now going forth to Jehovah's people throughout the
earth. It is a righteous call, and the action called for is, indeed, a
righteous requirement. This is not a new call to action but a revival of
one Jehovah's people faithfully obeyed in the days of Israel, admittedly
under a theocratic government.

Jehovah is our great God and Christ Jesus is his anointed King. In 1918 the
King came to his temple class which is composed of the dedicated,
spirit-begotten and anointed members of his body. He has judged them clean
and commissioned them to act as his "faithful and discreet slave". -Matt.
25:45-47.

The King has placed this slave over his earthly household and has given him
charge over all his goods with specific instructions to bring forth "food
in due season" for the household of faith. The servant was also anointed
"to tell good news to the meek; ... to bind up the brokenhearted, to
proclaim liberty to those taken captive and the wide opening of the eyes
even to the prisoners; to proclaim the year of good will on the part of
Jehovah and the day of vengeance on the part of our God; to comfort all the
mourning ones". -Isa. 61:1-3.

The Scriptures and the facts clearly establish that the commission given to
the "faithful slave" is grounded in the Word of Jehovah and breathed into
the mouths of the anointed remnant. There is only one visible organization
on earth today fulfilling these righteous requirements - The Watchtower
Bible and Tract Society under the direction of its Governing Body. Jehovah
through the Governing Body is now proclaiming his great day of vengeance.

This Society was authorized by Jehovah to bring forth things new and old
for the household of faith and do his work. Therefore it is fully qualified
and duly authorized to issue a "call to action" to all who claim to be on
Jehovah's side in these very last days of this wicked system of things to
busy themselves in doing the work of Jehovah.

This "call to action" sent out by Jehovah through the Society is based on
the fulfilled prophecies of his Word clearly revealed to those who have the
mind of Jehovah, in such articles in the Watchtower magazine as "What It
Takes to Keep Separate from the World" in the June 15, 1980 issue, "Godly
Conduct Toward Others" and "Disfellowshiping - How To View It" in the
September 15, 1981 issue, "Christ Hated Lawlessness - Do You?" in the July
15, 1992 issue and "At Which Table Are You Feeding?" in the July 1, 1994
issue.

These thrilling prophecies were called to our attention during the past
year and clearly reveal Jehovah's requirements for those who are under the
leadership of his King. These are, therefore, right and righteous
requirements for every dedicated servant of Jehovah. As the above mentioned
articles show, Jehovah prophesied that his servants would "hate those who
are intensely hating you, O Jehovah," and would feel "a loathing for those
revolting against you."

How does Jehovah issue the call to his people? Does it come in the form of
a harsh ultimatum: You do thus and so, or else you bear some consequences?
No! Such ultimatums are not necessary. Jehovah never adopts that attitude
toward the footstep followers of the man Jesus. Instead, he foretold that
his servants would offer themselves willingly. (Psalm 110:3). His anointed
King prophesied "whoever wants to save his soul will lose it; but whoever
loses his soul for my sake will find it."

This call is therefore for those who truly love Jehovah, who rejoice in his
righteous requirements, and who wish to live in and accept fully all the
responsibilities of his government. Such show their faith and faithfulness
by their response to the call to action. When this class sees the issue and
hears the call, that is all that is necessary. Jesus says of them, "For
they know the good shepherd's voice, and a stranger will they not follow."
(John 10:4,5) Jehovah always issues his call to action in an organized,
systematic manner, for he is not the sower of confusion (1 Cor. 14:33).
This is emphasized throughout the Bible, from the opening chapters of
Genesis to the concluding chapters of Revelation. Let us consider two by
way of illustration.

In Genesis 1:26 Jehovah issued a "call to action" to his son, the Logos,
and such other agencies as were required for the creation of man, in these
words: "And God went on to say: `Let us make man in our image, according to
our likeness.'" This is all there was to it. Jehovah expressed his will.
That expressed will became "organizational instructions" to the Logos. It
was then that "the morning stars joyfully cried out together, and all the
sons of God began shouting in applause". (Job 38:7) Another splendid
illustration of Jehovah's expressing his will, which expressed will became
"organizational instructions" to Jesus and all other servants of Jehovah
participating in the great drama, is the 110th Psalm, particularly the
first three verses: "The utterance of Jehovah to my Lord is: 'Sit at my
right hand until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet. The rod of
your strength Jehovah will send out of Zion, saying: "Go subduing in the
midst of your enemies." Your people will offer themselves willingly on the
day of your military force. In the splendors of holiness, from the womb of
the dawn, you have your company of young men just like dewdrops.'"

Every organization requires specific instructions for those who serve in
it. The established facts show that in the past Jehovah issued his
"organizational instructions" to his servants through his central agency or
channel. Each one joyfully accepted his part and faithfully carried it out.

Now, the apostle says, Jehovah speaks to us through his Son. (Heb. 1:1,2)
The son has returned as King; he has come to his temple. He has appointed
his "faithful and discreet slave", who is his visible representative, and
says to those who are privileged to represent him upon the earth, "This
good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a
witness to all the nations" (Matthew 24:14).

These expressions of God's will by his King and through his established
agency constitute his law or rule of action for the "faithful and discreet
slave" and for their companions today. Jehovah breaks down our
organizational instructions further and makes them more practicable by
further instructing us through his trustworthy Word. At Deuteronomy 13:6-11
holy scripture commands, "In case your brother ... should try to allure you
. you must not accede to his wish or listen to him, nor should your eye
feel sorry for him, nor must you feel compassion, nor cover him
protectively; but you should kill him without fail. Your hand first of all
should come upon him to put him to death, and the hand of all the people
afterward. And you must stone him with stones, and he must die, because he
has sought to turn you away from Jehovah your God... Then all Israel will
hear and become afraid, and they will not do anything like this bad thing
again in your midst."

Apostates are lawless ones and these always try to allure Jehovah's
faithful ones to serve "other gods." In the modern age of mass
communication via the Internet, online messaging services and computer
bulletin boards, these purveyors of hate are spreading fabrications and
disinformation about God's organization, and doing so on an unprecedented
scale. Their writings, which we know from God's sound word to comprise
spiritual pornography, are turning many away from the truth, prejudicing
some among the public against our worldwide kingdom preaching and
disciple-making work. You may be surprised, but occasionally they even
succeed in stumbling spiritually weak brethren who, manifesting independent
thinking, unwisely spurned the sound counsel expressed in the November 1,
1997, November 1, 1999 and May 1, 2000 issues of Kingdom Ministry to use
the internet only when necessary and exercising great discretion.

Where the criminal actions of these wicked ones, employing modern
technology towards the ends of Satan the devil, deprive so many of their
scriptural hope of attaining everlasting life, could we sit idly by? No,
not rightly so! Our inaction would make us bloodguilty before Jehovah for
all those who were subverted from the path of righteousness by the twisted
lies of the apostates. Our obligation to hate lawlessness applies to all
such activity by those who hate Jehovah. If we turn to the Bible for
guidance, we know that our attitude toward apostates should be that of
David, who declared: "Do I not hate those who are intensely hating you, O
Jehovah, and do I not feel a loathing for those revolting against you? With
a complete hatred I do hate them. They have become to me real enemies."
(Psalm 139:21,22)

These directions come to us from Jehovah through his established agency
directing what is required of us; and, for those who really love Jehovah
and are guided by his counsel, that is a reasonable requirement. It is for
our good that these requirements are made; for thereby we are enabled to
prove our integrity to the most high and to magnify Jehovah's name.

The time has come when each one must bear his own burden fully before
Jehovah. With the provisions that he has now made in supplying us with
spiritual counsel and instructions as to our obligation towards apostates,
there is absolutely no excuse for anyone, man or woman, to claim to be
unable to accept this assignment and to assume full responsibility for it.
Those who really love Jehovah and are fighters for the New Order will not
try to excuse themselves on any ground, but will hear Jehovah's word when
he says, Let us do thus and so, and always keep in mind the us includes
Christ, who will be with us in every undertaking. -Matthew 18:20. The
faithful witnesses who endured the horrors of the Nazi brutality in
concentration camps, suffering torture for years, and many execution, did
not betray Jehovah. They stood firm.

Jehovah through his "faithful and discreet slave" now commands us, "Let us
seek out apostates in our territory and deal scripturally with them." That
becomes our organizational instructions and has the same binding force upon
us that his statement to the Logos had when he said, "Let us make man in
our image." It is our duty to accept this additional instruction and to
faithfully and unquestioningly obey it. But someone will say, "The
conditions are different. In the case of the Logos, he could accomplish
what Jehovah commanded him to do; but when it comes to seeking out
apostates, that is out of all reason. We have never sought out apostates
before, and besides, Jehovah never authorized us to break so serious a law
of man. It just can't be done." We have all heard that argument before, but
the time before the great battle of the Jehovah is now very short. And if
it were true it would put God's sacred name into disrepute, as it would
imply that Jehovah was asking us to do something that is impossible for us
to accomplish. The children of Israel walked around Jericho seven times the
last day. Phinehas was empowered to clear out what was bad from Israel's
midst (Numbers 25:6-8). As loyal servants of Jehovah, so will his holy
spirit empower us today meeting his righteous requirements of us!

To jehovah's Witnesses, as I have demonstrated at length in this newsgroup,
there are big differences between:
prophecy vs "prophecy"
truth vs "the truth"
lying vs "lying"
attorney vs "attorney"
the end vs "the end"
God vs "a god"
prophets vs "prophets"
worship vs "worship"
jW "Academic" Greg Stafford vs "TJ45" (his self-congratulating anon-ID)
cheating vs "cheating"
hatred vs "hatred"
forgery vs "forgery"

So is the above article a solicitation to MURDER those who oppose the
Watchtower teachings? What does "deal scripturally with" apostates mean? Is
it worded ambiguously to avoid legal consequences? Is the Internet expose
of the WTS getting this satanic cult riled and scared enough to issue a
Fatwa against "Apostates"? (JW definition of Apostate: Anyone who DARES to
oppose the Jehovah's Witnesses).

WTS recruitment in the advanced world is at an all time low, JW numbers are
falling fast where the web is readily available thanks to the many lists of
the lies of the Jehovah's Witnesses that I and my many deputies and
associates have scattered around the online world?

You must read the above very carefully and decide for yourself.

Think seventy times seven times before you let these kooks into your door.
If you do, and you are not suitably submissive, your name and/or address
may go on a list at the local Kingdom Hall (standard practice). So what,
you say? If the call to "help out Christ" in his mission (according to the
Watchtower, that is) to SLAUGHTER 6,100 MILLION people (including over
2,200,000,000 KIDS) any moment now is issued, you might get a knock on your
door you will remember until your dying moment.

******
The biblical way to deal with the jW at your door is using a kettle in an
appropriate manner. Or maybe its contents? Plenty of scripture to choose
from in Deuteronomy and Leviticus and Revelation. ;-)

Examples of FINE SPIRITUAL FOOD AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME FROM "THE SLAVE":
"We need not here repeat the evidences that the 'seventh trump' began its
sounding in A.D. 1840, and will continue until the end of the time of
trouble" {WT Nov 1880 p1}; "masturbation is no mere innocent pastime but
rather a practice that can lead to homosexual acts" {WT May 15 1970 p315;
also WT Oct 1 1970 p604}; "If heaven were made the receptacle of the
heathen, savages, barbarians, the idiotic, simple, insane and INFANTS, it
would cease to be heaven to a considerable extent, and become a pandemonium
.. billions of ignorant, imbecile and degraded .. never formed characters
[not] fit companions for saints" {WT Oct 15 1896 p245} Fine JW Wisdom!!
